People who use round monitors should be sent to Norwegian prison camps.

So they just basically want Marriage all to themselves. The trouble, I think, is that they define ‘marriage’ as ‘when a man and woman legally tie themselves and their assets together’, so terms like ‘gay marriage’ doesn’t make sense to them.
It’s like me saying “monitors are square televisions used with computers”. That makes sense, right? It’s correct, I mean. But I’m not gonna campaign against round monitors; it’s ultimately unimportant that I initially imagined them as square, because their primary function is preserved regardless of the shape, so it’s not important. I can redefine my expectations and move on.

I actually really like and enjoy the idea of Gay Marriage; I understand that I’m entitled to just let it quietly go on in the background, but something about the idea really excites me and makes me smile.
It’s like those bionic eyes they’re developing for blind people, or electric cars; it finally feels like progress.

I literally despair of the human race when people will unite so completely to demonify some people trying to get married. It’s like saying “black people getting on a bus cheapens the bus ride for everybody”. I mean, what sick social environment makes a person feel justified, feel like a hero doing this? All joking aside, this is a serious video. They mean it. They feel threatened by other people just doing their own thing, so much so that they don’t even want their kids to learn about it in school. What if we didn’t learn about racism? What if we didn’t learn about WW2 (aside from the steady decline of WW2 games made by coming generations, I mean)?

Urghhh. I can’t believe I came back here, read this again, and got angry all over again.

I once met a homosexual person and literally caught fire.

Actually, no; the worst thing about this is everything.

Probably the worst thing about it all really is the way it holds up other “minority” groups that might otherwise face discrimination to try and validate their non-point.

“See, this guy is BLACK! And his mate is foreign! And they know all about being prejudized so if THEY support this it MUST be okay!”

Oh look, gay octupi want my wedding ring! Fight them off with a harpoon!

I’d additionally argue that the notion of “being married” doesn’t intrinsically change a serious relationship in the first place, so the shift between a couple cohabiting and being married makes literally no difference to anyone, gay or straight.

Spectacular idiocy masquerading as a protector of human rights, when it’s actually based on a foundation that advocates the exact opposite.

At least they had the decency to make it outwardly hilarious for anyone with half a brain.

It’s sickening the way people still oppress others, giving no justification other than prejudice. In history classes today we’re taught about the barbaric oppression of the African-Americans. How long till they teach about the religious oppression of homosexuals?

For further reference – The Colbert Report made their own parody advert for last Thursday’s how. Unfortunately people in the UK can’t watch the videos from the website – but if you have a handy place to embed it, it works that way. (NOM themselves completely missed the point of this, by the way, and have implied that Colbert is some kind of ally to their cause)

The sheer ridiculous nature of these people’s claims – that somehow gay marriage corrupts their heterosexual marriages – is just beyond belief. And they preach about children needing the stability a marriage provides – well, what about that alleged 50% divorce rate, eh? And why would you want to prevent the creation of more marriages that want to offer children a stable home?

You’re right – I think it would be a lot easier to deal with these people if they just admitted that their true issue is ‘Gay people are wrong’ – at least that’s a familiar argument. At this rate it almost seems impossible to argue with them because they make so little sense.

Thanks for this post – it’s an issue of huge importance.
